I play an active spector bass but have recently picked up a Fender Precision.
I'm finding that the Fender has a great low end but is a bit "Hollow" sounding. There just isn't any cut through the mix growl I get with my spector.

Would anyone recommend I replace the stock P-pickups with active? or should I install a J-pickup (if that's possible)?
OR should I suck it up and learn to appreciate the sound as is?

Any advice would be great. I've been playing a while, but I'm as techy as a rubber band.
